A Highly Unlikely Match

I had everything planned: a five-year timeline, a color-coded checklist, a perfectly curated life. Nowhere on it was Conner Bachman, leather-clad, motorcycle-riding biotech genius… and single dad to a five-year-old boy.

One neon-lit night in Nashville, our paths collided. I’m polish and ambition. He’s grit and quiet charm. A slow dance turned into a spark I couldn’t shake.

And then I met his son. Suddenly it wasn’t just Conner I was falling for, it was the way he fathers, the way he listens, the way he makes room for my dreams and nudges me toward better ones.

Between rodeo weekends, late-night talks, and the way Conner shows up for causes like the children’s hospital and the animal shelter, I start to believe this unlikely match might be the real thing.

But Conner’s past isn’t done with him.
And my carefully built future whispers that love like this doesn’t fit into a plan.

If I walk away now, I’ll lose the future I never planned on… and the man I can’t imagine living without.
